Why not use "Simple Backup" to archive whatever you want in your /home 
directory (including or only your  .evolution folder) and then have it 
output the backup file to your UbuntuOne directory for upload to the 
server?  Simple Backup creates a single directory with only a handful of 
files including a tar.gz with the backed-up files/directories.  This 
would solve uploading complex directory structures to UbuntuOne.
